Bardoxolone-Methyl (CDDO-Me) impairs tumor growth and radioresistance of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cells via accumulation of reactive oxygen species
Abstract:Radiotherapy (RT) represents a common treatment strategy for patients suffering from oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, application of RT is immanently limited by radio-sensitivity of normal tissue surrounding the tumor sites. In this study, we used normal human epithelial keratinocytes (NHEK) and OSCC cells (Cal-27) as models to investigate radio-modulating and anti-tumor effects of the synthetic triterpenoid 2-cyano-3,12-dioxooleana-1,9,-dien-28-oic acid methyl ester (CDDO-Me). Nanomolar CDDO-Me … Show more
